Portland Chefs Team Up For Typhoon Relief

"When tragedy strikes—here and beyond—Portland cooks are more generous than the Red Cross, endlessly donating their sweat and blood sausages to worthy causes. I was struck by this notion once again recently, as menus and parties as far-flung as Simpatica Dining Hall, Coffeehouse Northwest, and the recently-shuttered Fratelli chipped in funds for survivors of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. Over at NE Killingsworth's Beast, Naomi Pomeroy rallied some of Portland’s top talents to collaborate on an epic, $250 dinner, with 100 percent of proceeds going to Mercy Corps' typhoon relief efforts."
